Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, a right shoulder disability, and headaches as the evidence did not support a finding of a current disability or a link to service. The claims for service connection for right knee and left knee disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's claimed conditions were related to his military service.
